Patch released to nerf Tec-9

3-7-2014 12:55

Following numerous complaints about Tec-9 since this week's update, Valve has released a small patch to fix the semi-automatic pistol.

Tec-9 had been one of the weapons whose properties were changed following Wednesday's update, which also nerfed the CZ75 auto pistol.

Since the update, many players had complained about the Tec-9 being way too strong, and with the Iron Gaming LAN due to take place this weekend, many had called for a quick patch to fix this situation, which has now been released.

Below you can find the complete patch notes:

[OPERATION BREAKOUT]

Missions will now properly reward progress on partnering dedicated servers.
Fixed graphical glitch with water on cs_rush and de_overgrown when shader detail is set to medium or low.

[GAMEPLAY]

Fixed the Tec-9 weapon script.

[MISC]

Fixed a rare crash when updating the scoreboard.
Zooming out of a sniper scope on a map that doesn’t have a post processing entity will no longer cause a circular visual artifact.

2014-07-03 12:57

I don't see a nerf I just see that they removed the script. It's still as op. Edit: Just tried it ingame and the recoil has been nerfed slightly but not too much. I'll still deffo use it.

Both true and not, it's pretty good for close quarter rushes for ex. B on Inferno but I wouldn't recommend it for D2 pistol round for example.

2014-07-04 19:31

yay

2014-07-03 12:58

Still too stronk

Whats up with the 1shot through doors? I got shot through double doors on dust2 and had 24 hp left.

Leg shot probably. Before a leg shot would do like 40-50 to you. Now its doing 75-80. Body shot is doing 109.

yeah.. wait a minute thats the same as 1.6.. and that game is considered the best fps ever made... guess its good. csgo is trash and kids complain about good things transferred from 1.6, might as well go play cod

You didnt 1shot someone when hitting him through the door in 1.6

2014-07-03 17:54

I'm pretty sure you never played 1.6 if you say this new wallbanging system is the same as 1.6's.

2014-07-03 18:19

Please stop posting when you have no clue about what the fuck you're talking about. Thank you.

2014-07-03 18:48

brain followed by mouth next time please.

2014-07-03 19:01

pls stahp u know nothing about 1.6 kiddoo

2014-07-04 20:25

I think they dont have to fix awp, but fix other weps. Coz -105 in head with ak - very bad(

2014-07-03 18:11

ak was always 1 shot 1 kill when it comes to headshots lol

2014-07-04 19:47

+1, tec9 fix was top 1 priority but, 1awp shots trough doors really need to be fixed aswell. this ruins rounds before they even started. same with container shots. damage reduction was okay through doors and containers, i don't understand why they change things that work out well. and some spots like lower b tunnel on dust2 should be allowed to fire through boxes. really doesnt make any sense you cant fire throut ct spawn boxes where ppl are camping. change some boxes to prevent that but not in every spot.

yeah dafuq, can't spam through lower b tunnel? dafuq is up with dat,i always spam dat shit to kill noobs...

I know ;_;

2014-07-03 14:53

i bet they removed it since the number of overwatch-reports increases when noobs get prefired through boxes. i liked it too, feels weird now that i cant shoot through this box, BUT through the box on A-Mirage. i mean wtf, srsly

2014-07-03 16:48

thats now up to map designers. Since wallbanging started being more consistent it is up to map designers to use provided features.

2014-07-03 13:16

3 replies

yes and its up to valve to fix their own maps in accordance with their changes to wallbanging

2014-07-03 13:58

i liked the word that valve used to stop wallbanging,making it "consistent"LoLoLO

2014-07-03 14:02

Sure, it's up to the map developers to make doors as thick as a box to prevent 1 shot wallbang with the awp

2014-07-03 18:22

"valve"

2014-07-03 13:20

I just want to be able again to jump on the boxes in Lowers to watch catwalk/short

2014-07-03 14:58

if you zoomed in with awp and switched to pistol it was still zoomed. :D

2014-07-03 16:04

Looks like they make wrong choices of balance look like a mistake so people don't get mad. :/

it wasn't a mistake. It was a typo.

2014-07-03 14:40

4 replies

Then I believe that all definitions of "typo" are wrong, like this one "typo: a mistake in printed matter resulting from mechanical failures of some kind". And that's not because numbers look similar that it's a typo. Looks like poeple are trying to give excuses to devs for not testing their work. That's not something new, they don't really test their patches and creates lots of troubles. Maybe because they don't have the time to.

2014-07-03 16:13

2014-07-03 16:51

Yeah because they obviously have no idea how to balance games and intentionally made a pistol the best weapon in the game. hurr durr

2014-07-03 18:55

So... are the paper mid doors on d2 intentional? I can kind of see why they would want to try it, but either way it ruins the map.

2014-07-03 13:11

2 replies

Not intentional, just a byproduct of their changes to wallbanging mechanics. I imagine they will fix it but not straight away

2014-07-03 13:59

1 reply

That seems logical but why have they fixed the tec9 but not d2 doors? Sure tec9 was literally changing one number coz it was a typo, but surely they can fix it within 1 day.

2014-07-03 14:55

That was quick. Thank you valve

2014-07-03 13:12

Valve + for fast react

2014-07-03 13:12

still need to sort out the one shots though the door on d2 .... its a bit of a joke

2014-07-03 13:26

buuh cant fire with mwheelup mwheeldown anymore :(

2014-07-03 13:36

woop

2014-07-03 13:37

I didn't know the tec9 being op issue is actually serious...

2014-07-03 13:40

1 reply

It literally was like cod. Running around while shooting. I remember watching a stream where the team was trolling around with the tec9 and one said "don't stop, just run cause tec9". People were doing tec9 buys. No need for the ak lol XD

2014-07-03 14:12

So how much damage does it do with armor now?

2014-07-03 14:34

gj volvo ty for fps drops

2014-07-03 14:45

"many players had complained about the Tec-9 being way too strong" so we need strong complaints to make CSGO better :D

2014-07-03 14:52

WHY IS VALVE SO STUPID

2014-07-03 15:37

Seen a post by someone somewhere that apparently the Tec9 getting nerfed was an accident and the movement inaccuracy got reducded from 13 to 3 meaning a dev accidently removed the '1'

2014-07-03 15:39

Was from 13.81 to 3.81 to be exact

what does "weapon script" mean?

2014-07-03 17:37

1 reply

It's the text file that controls weapon behaviour like damage, accuracy, rate of fire etc. It's in the csgo/scripts folder.

2014-07-03 18:03

why didnt change wallbanging through doors? :(

how was it op comparing to five seven which cts can buy? wtff

2014-07-03 19:03

they should tone down the fog a bit on some of the new maps, especially in overgrown

2014-07-03 19:05

Have you all noticed that the "InaccuracyMove" value in the tec9 script file is still at "3.81" after the latest patch/update (7/2/2014)??? All other pistols' are higher than "12" ....And before the breakout operation 7/1/2014 update, the tec9 was "13.81"..which was fine and balanced (compared to the other pistols).. Even though the tec-9's "InaccuracyFire" and "RecoilMagnitude" have been fixed with the 7/2/2014 patch update, there is still hardly any difference in accuracy between standing and running with it... which still makes it very easy for me to do running head shots CONSISTENTLY with it...... Hope this is really fixed soon

2014-07-03 20:41

I'm getting drops of FPS's when i open the scoreboard... seems like i get lagged and the walls are kinda glitching or something... anyone has this now? It was since the update.

2014-07-03 23:01

Why are you guys complaining so much? They're doing a pretty decent job on the game and they probably don't pay attention to HLTV because all of you just bitch and moan whenever they do something. Have some faith in Valve. Unless you're waiting in HL3. In which case don't bother.
